Collection and usage attributes | |||||||||
| Guide for use: | To determine the bundle-branch block status, compare the current ECG to the preceding or most recently available ECG. | ||||||||
| Collection methods: | Record for each ECG that indicates a bundle-branch block is present. Only one bundle-branch block status can be recorded for each ECG performed. Only one bundle-branch block can occur at any one time, but in any given person, a left bundle-branch block may occur at one time point and a right bundle-branch block at another time point. Therefore, there can only be one bundle-branch block per ECG, but they may differ temporally. | ||||||||
